Dear Mr. Cornwell, I just wanted to let you know that I very much enjoy reading your books. Especially the Sharpe-serie. About two years ago I bought Sharpe’s Prey. After reading it I was hooked and read the whole serie from the beginning. I do have one question for you. Maybe you will find it a strange question but here goes. In your foreword of Sharpe’s Sword you say that you have a Heavy Cavalry sword hanging over your fireplace. You also say that these swords are nowadays very hard to find. My question is where did you buy it because I too would like to have such an authentic Heavy Cavalty sword. With kind regards, Andrew van der Schalk (The Netherlands)
